XIAOMI ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST VR HEADSET –THE MI VR PLAY

Xiaomi is broadening its already expansive range of products by venturing into virtual reality for the first time.On August 4th, the firm announced the Mi VR Play, an “entry-level” headset that relies on your smartphone to deliver VR apps, games, movies, and TV shows.

Xiaomi is making it available to a limited number of beta test users and I am a lucky one accepted into the test program. Now, I will share more details about MI VR headset for you.Like Samsung’s Gear VR and Google DayDream, it is essentially a way to strap your phone in front of your eyes and get immersed in a virtual reality

Packaging

Xiaomi Mi VR headset come with a simple black box with three Chinese words (Let’s discover) on it. The box measures 201x107x91mm and weighs only 208.7g. Inside the box, you will find 1×Xiaomi Mi VR headset and 1× paper card.

SPECS

The Mi VR Play, much like Samsung’s VR, LG’s 360 VR, and other smartphone-dependent VR peripherals, is relatively simple, electronically speaking. It’s made of Lycra, a fabric which Xiaomi describes as “lightweight” and “durable,” and features “dual openings” on the front for airflow and “micro” adjustments. Uniquely, it’s able to accommodate a wide range of phones — any that measure between 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches, the company said — thanks to a two-way zipper grip that fits snugly around them.

Design

Xiaomi Mi VR headset is made of Lycra and EVA material. Lycra known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable fibre. This material is smooth and suitable for most of the people.

Please remove the blue protection pastes on the lens. There are non-slip rubber pads around the lens to prevent accidental home and menu button presses, combined with foam cushion to keep the smartphone firmly.

The head strap is removable. You can take it off when not in use. There are Mi logo on two-way zippers which make the zippers run smoothly. When you plug in headphones, the two-way zipper leave a room for headphone cables.

There will be a variety of designs to choose between, many of which are colourful and certainly not subtle. They include Demin, Floral, Night Sky, Leopard, Lotus and Camo. There’s also a plain black version.

Mi VR app

Mi VR app comes with abundant games, panoramic, 2D and 3D video library with updates. The experience while playing games and watching 3D movies is exceptional.
